A Destructive snow sI1de.

The most destructive slide I remember
was one that came down upon the Sheri-
dan and MandOta mines near the top of
the range that rises above Ouray. 1t
carried away the kitchen and bunk house
of the men, and covered fifteen miners.
Some who escaped came down to Ouray
on snow shoes over a perilous trail, run
ming nearly all the way along precipices,
aud overhung with cliffs, bearing tremb-
ling masses of snow, threatening other
slides. They begged us for help to dig
out their imprisoned comrades. We sent
a party up on snow shoes immediately,
eight of the nerviest men in the camp.
They got up to the mines safely and dug
out the bodies and two live men. Then
they put seven of the dead men into sleds,
and with the rescued men started back to
Ouray, party of fifteen.
They were half way down when another
slide came down on the trail and swept
away sleds, cOrpses and rescuers. There
was a space fifty feet wide from the trail
to the brink of canyon, over eighty feet
deep. Some of the men were released by
the snow before they were carried to the
edge of the gulf, but most of them, with
all the sled bearers, went over and down
upon the deep snow at the bottom. Not
one of that party was killed, although
they were somewhat bruised, and they
all, singly or in small parties, made their
way back to Ouray within the next three
days. The cOrpses lay embalmed in the
snow until spring, when the thawing OF
the snow made them visible. They were
then brought down to Ouray and buried

Origin of Natural Gas.

Dr. Fl. A. Mott, the chemist, has beer
making a study of natural gas. When
asked what he thought was the origin of
the gas, and whether he thought it was
really volatized petroleum, as has been
claimed, he replied: mo. 1t seems to
me that it cannot be; to so produce it
would require far greater heat than ex-
lists at the depth where it is found. My
theory is that the gas was thrown off
during the first stage of decomposition of
the herbaceous and igneus plants, and
has since remained undiscovered in the
caverns of the earth. I say the first
stage because consider that in this case
there were three stages Of decomposition,
the first resulting in gas, the second in
petroleum and the third in coal.-New

The Arab Mare.

She was the most beautiful mare Z
have ever seen, of pure Maid blood,
gray, with flea bitten spots, eyes too
large for her head, nostril thin and ex-
banded, the throat of game cock, the
hair of her name and tail so fire and
soft that the most beautiful woman
might have been proud of such a texture,
and her skin so thin and soft that the
thorn bushes through which rode her
used to tear it; and after many of my
runs through the jungle have had her,
bleeding from the thorns, looking as if
she had been practiced upon with light
sabre. She was what you would con-
slider in England pony, Il hands 1-2
inches high; but she was as broad almost
as a dray horse, and her tail was set up
so high that as she moved about her
loose box you could, stopping, walk be-
tween it and the ground. Her feet were
black and hard, and the tendons below
her hooks and knees were like harp
strings. Add to this that her head was
SO lean that you might have boiled it
without obtaining any flesh from it, and
you have a picture of what this desert

The Care of Closets,

FROM Detroit Tribune,
closets are not only useful, but a necessary

mere can not be too much closet room provided.
Ahefe are many things which are properly put into
closets, and other things which should never go in
10 closets. Ofsuch are all soHed undergaments
Clothlng that has been worn should not be hung
away until properly ventilated In this way two

GUIDED Many hang their night clothes in the
closets during the day. This also should be avoided
unless they have had thorough airing before be-
ing hung Ifthe closet does not admitof window

lators placed just over the door but the outside air

Boiling Coffee.

Mary j. lincoln, in Good Housekeeping
Whether coffee shall be boiled or not will
probably be always question. Many think it has
raw taste if not boiled; others contend that, in
boiling. much of the aroma is lost. Boiling makes
the mixtures roily, and it must stand long enough
to let the grounds settle and the liquid become
clear. Some albuminous material will help TO clear
it. Fish skim isinglass, cold water, and eggs are
used for this purpose. Eggs give it a favor and
body, and Doubt, improve an inferior quality OF
coffee; but they increase the cost of the beverage,
as aside from their cost they clog the grounds,
thus making larger amount of coffee necessary to
obtain the desired strength But if coffee must be
boiled let it be boiled in closely-coyered vessel
with thimble or cork in the spout, as fleft un.
covered, the volatile OIL which forms the fragrant
ar una, is dissipated and it should never boil more
than five minutes, as longer boiling extracts the
fannie acid. These is widely prevalent, but
erroneous notion that long boiling extracts OF
the strength and color, and is, therefore, more
economical but strength and color thus gained are
obtained at the expense Of favor and wholesome
ness,

a Couple of Hints.

By Fred Grnndy. gG r5L .;
Mr.. X met Mr. on the road in front of my house
few days ago and aske him Tor some assistance at
threshing.
Cant say exactly" replied X. maybe tomorrow
noon, and maybe not until some time next day;
depends on how they get along But when you hear
long toot followed by three short ones, and then
another long one, it will mean that the machine
has arrived atmy house and you can come on
can right" said B, laughing "Tll be on hand like
q sore thumb"
That was new idea to me, and l think good
one. To have preconeerted signal for calling the
helpers at threshng together saves a. good deal of
hard riding, valuable time and worry. The men
can hold themselves i'll readinessJ to appear when
eYerthey hear the signal.
At daylight the next morning the engine went
putting by, drawing the separator straw-sIacker and
tank, and soon after heard the signal ring out On
the still morning air All the helpers were there on
time, and the days work commenced without any
apparent fuss or hurry. That was in the yard. In
the house there was turmoil. The early and unex-
pected arrival of the threshers had created some
confusion i'll the domestic machine, and things were
not moving smoothly as they might; and for good
reason. Mrs X had only little girl to help her
and consequently she had to- as she said "just fly
aIound!'
About 10 O'Clock saw her with the girl and q dog
chacing chickens The thermometer:stood at 98
degrees in the shade, and it was something more in
the sum- so called to her to stop. She was both
hot and mad and her face was red as fire, but she
halted moment to see what wanted.
You'll kill yourself running about hot day like
this" said l.
"Well," she replied II can't helpitl I've got to
have some chickens for dinner. The threshers
came so carly that didn't have time to catch
them for me-
